Editorial Reviews

2012 release from the Brooklyn duo consisting of Derek E. Miller (songwriter, guitarist, producer) and Alexis Krauss (vocals). Sleigh Bells' unique sound is likely the result of Miller and Krauss's contrasting musical backgrounds; Miller was formerly the guitarist for the post-hardcore band Poison The Well and Krauss was a member of the teen pop group RubyBlue as a teenager.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Pep Rally Ends Here. February 21, 2012
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
I think one of the biggest concerns I had leading up to Sleigh Bells' much anticipated new album was that it would be just a redux of their debut Treats. The album's lead single "The Comeback Kid" didn't help with these worries either. While I really do like the song, it seems to much like something Sleigh Bells' had done before, albeit a little bit poppier. Luckily the rest expands beyond this song and the pop thrash duo's debut. Creating a darker, yet less thrashy sound. Those who found the other album too abrasive and loud, will find more songs to like here ( "End of the line",my bloody valentine tinged "You Lost Me", and my personal favorite "Road to Hell"). But there are also tracks to please the group who like them loud ("True Shred Guitar", "Demons" "Crush"). So its a good wash.

I don't think that this album is as strong as Treats. It doesn't keep my attention as consistently, but then again I'm just grateful that Sleigh Bells has proved they aren't just a flash in the pop rock scene. This isn't the party album Treats was, more like an emotional response to that party's negative consequences. The album is a solid piece of work that will please newcomers as well as returning fans.

1. True Shred Guitar- (3/5)- A little short but a good intro. Sleigh Bells at their thrashiest.
2. Born to Lose- (4/5)-The track with the most mainstream appeal on the album. Seems a bit too familar though.
3. Crush- (4/5)
4. End of the Line-(4.5/5)- Poppy compared to other SB material, but still has depth
5. Leader of the Pack-(4.5/5)- Pop-Rock Gem
6. Comeback Kid- (4.5/5)- The album's head single and most joyful song. Similar to some of the tracks on Treats.
7. Demons- (5/5)-Thrashy goodness that I wish was more prevelent on this album
8. Road to Hell- (4.5/5)-The song carries a lush atmosphere
9. You Lost Me- (5/5)- Favorite song on the album
10. Never say Die- (5/5)- The guitar riff on this song is particularly great.
11. D.O.A- (4.5/5)- A great closer and different from anything they've done.

4/5

5.0 out of 5 stars Noise Pop Perfection February 21, 2012
Format:Audio CD
Ok, I do admit that I have a strangelove for indie music duos (the Kills, Matt & Kim, White Stripes, the Raveonettes, etc.) but this entire weekend I could barely pull myself away from obsessing over the Sleigh Bell's new album `Reign of Terror' - epically heavy guitars, sick drum beats, highlighted with catchy neon tinted 90s vocals. Its crazy to think that Derek Miller (formerly of Poison the Well) and Alexis Krauss (a Rhodes scholar nominee) could forge such a captivatingly FRESH brand of noise-pop, but on this record they've managed to give a big F-U to the sophomore curse that plagues so many artists. While their debut `Treats' had a far more raw unfocused party nihilism quality about it, here they shine with polished tracks that sparkle like the blue eyes of an illegitimate love child of a headbanger who boinked one of the Go-Go's.

From the title of the LP, in addition to the various namesakes along its tracklisting, you can perceive that Miller dove deep into the dark catharsis that always seems to generate incredible work (he has recently dealt with the death of his father - motorcycle crash, and his mother's diagnosis with cancer). In the semi-live opening track `True Shred Guitar' Alexis evokes the semblance of a punk siren princess, whilst Derek wails on his instrument in true guitar god fashion = a mashup that is an epic WIN in my book. What's more, the album fluctuates nicely between almost industrial beat-laden rock anthems (Demons) assorted lighthearted fare dressed up in a dreary and more mature context (Leader of the Pack, Born to Lose) with a few more upbeat distortion tracks thrown in for good measure (Comeback Kid, Crush). It has been awhile since I could listen to an album through and through and be this excited about it, they've done a stellar job here! Playing to sold-out venues in LA and San Fran this week, Sleigh Bell's second album drops this Tuesday, February 21st CHECK.IT.OUT!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Consider me slayed. February 21, 2012
By H3@+h
Format:Audio CD
I've been looking forward to Reign Of Terror. Seeing them rock SNL last week...made me feel like a teenager again, watching a favorite band. And you know....Alexis.

There's an excitement to their sound, an energy and jolt of fun. I believe it's a case of opposites attracting. He from the punk-metal background, she from pop. They make it work. The aggressive guitar riffs, pounding keyboards, and the girly vocals over top. Just listen to "Comeback Kid" 2-3 times. If that doesn't hook you, move on to something safer.

There's a lot of loud sounds on this album, but it's both noisy and beautiful. That's it....it's a beautiful noise.

The booklet has no pics of Alexis which is a crime. However I love the small print that says "Derek exclusively plays Jackson guitars", then it says "Alexis exclusively eats strawberry Pop Tarts". Good stuff.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing!
This album is the total package. It is impossible to describe the style of music on this album. The best I can get to is fresh, clean, and edgy. No two songs are alike. Read more

Love this CD every song is a winner, usually not a fan of female dominated sound, but this group I really like.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best albums of 2012.
I loved their album Treats and this was even better. Reign of Fire is definitely darker than that album. No filler and every track has a unique edge of it's own. Read more

Kind of a let down after the Treats album. I really thought they developed an awesome sound and had great catch to them. But none of these songs really blew me away. Read more

This Album is just as great as Sleigh Bells' first album treats. I saw them in concert for that and I can't wait to catch them doing reign of terror live as well
